"You really worry too much." He Bin looked at his fingernails leisurely, as if his fingernails were the only thing he cared about in the world. When he had looked enough, Xue Changshi felt his scalp tingling, and his whole body was like a taut bow that seemed to bend at any time. He slowly raised his head and said, "You guessed wrong this time. I really don't want to hear any useful information from you. I know your temper. You would rather die than tell the truth."
"Since the feud has already been made, we should do what you did, cut the Gordian knot quickly, with one stroke, no matter if it's an enemy or a god or a demon, it's all over with one stroke, don't you think?" He Bin had a smile on his face, but he looked sinister, even more creepy in this silent secret room: "No, I was wrong. When you kill people, you usually play with them first, and play with them until the prey is dying, and they have no ability to escape, and then you take action."
Xue Changshi frowned, and the hairs on his body stood up when he was looked at by He Bin with such a sinister look.
He originally thought that he was already a master at manipulating people's hearts and was very good at sensing other people's emotions, so as to find out what frightened them and take advantage of them. But now it seems that the person in front of him is the real master.
He is very good at seeing people's weaknesses from their language and using them to stir up their emotions.
He stopped talking and looked at He Bin in front of him with sarcasm.
If you really don't want to hear anything from him, then what's the point of saying so much nonsense
After all, I still think he is useful, which is why I stayed here and talked for so long.
And as long as they still need him, he must not speak. Only by keeping silent can he live longer and get more chances to live.
He Bin looked at him and seemed to know what he was thinking from his eyes.
Xuesong was watching the situation clearly, but he didn't say anything until this moment, when he suddenly clapped his hands and said to He Bin, "Okay, no need to say so much, it's time to let our distinguished guest know what happened to his subordinates."
He Bin hummed, with deep sarcasm in his eyes: "Oh, I almost forgot."
The sound of footsteps could be heard little by little in the originally quiet corridor outside. They were light at first, and then gradually became heavier. Xue Changshi's scalp went numb at the sound, and coupled with the deliberate reminders from He Bin and Xuesong before, when the footsteps suddenly stopped, he raised his head suddenly as if stimulated, staring at the door without saying a word.
The door was slowly pushed open from the outside, and several unfamiliar faces he had never seen walked in slowly. When they came to He Bin and Xuesong, they stopped, looked at him first, and then said expressionlessly: "We have dealt with them. They said that they were the prefect's followers, sent by Tatar spies outside the pass to kidnap the prisoners. The officers and soldiers were ruthless. Seeing that they intended to resist, they shot them to death with arrows. The remaining two who survived, unfortunately, did not make it to the prison and died of their injuries."
Xue Changshi pricked up his ears, as if he could hear what they were saying, but seemed to have no idea what they meant, and opened his eyes wide in confusion.
He Bin said "oh", turned around and looked at Xue Changshi with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said: "Did you hear clearly, Xue Changshi? Those brothers of yours who escaped from the Jin Wang Rebellion are all dead, not one is left. Including you, there are forty-three people in total, right? Forty-two people died, this is really..."
He watched Xue Changshi's expression gradually become solemn, then ferocious, and finally pale and blue, and sneered: "It's too easy for them. I should have picked out two more and handed them over to the princess and Mr. Xie for disposal. Unfortunately, it's too conspicuous to bring so many people on the road, so I had to let them off."
After He Sheng finished dealing with the matter, he was furious when he saw Xue Changshi. When he heard He Bin say that, he sneered, "That's right, it's such a pity. Otherwise, if they fell into the hands of Master Xie, they wouldn't be able to die so easily."
Xue Changshi shuddered.
He knew best how cunning and cruel Wei An and Shen Chen were. Both of them were rare in this world. They could even attack their own brother and stepmother without hesitation, let alone others
He finally couldn't help struggling a few times, and looked at the people in front of him with an indignant look: "Don't dream..."
He Bin's patience had run out. He reached out and took a few things from the tray in the hand of the person following him, and slammed them in Xue Changshi's face.
Xue Changshi felt pain on the face from the hit, so he turned his face away, watched the thing fall to the ground, and then lowered his head to look again.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that they were several purses.
This purse... ... He felt it looked familiar. Just as he was about to speak, he saw He Sheng move his feet and kick the purse, revealing a jade pendant inside.
The jade pendant was an ordinary one with simple pattern and texture, but Xue Changshi suddenly felt like he was frozen and could not move at all.
He felt as if all the blood rushed to his head at once, his face turned red all the way to his neck. Finally, he couldn't control himself anymore, and asked him hoarsely with a ferocious face: "Where did this come from?! Where did this come from?!"
"Are you afraid too?" He Bin restrained his smile, looked at him expressionlessly, and raised his voice: "Because you recognized that this is your grandson's personal jade pendant, are you afraid? It's really a rare thing. When you scheme against others, you don't care about the age of their family, and you don't care whether they have offended you or not. You wish to wipe out the whole family. But now, when the time comes, you are so afraid. Should I say that you are capable, or should I say that you are ridiculous?"
Xue Changshi almost vomited blood. Unable to hear his ridicule, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve, and finally lowered his head: "What have you done to them? Please spare me..."
"Please spare me?" He Bin brushed his hand away, looked at him with a smile, and shook his head lightly: "I can't do that. Didn't I just say that it's not our job to deal with you? We are only responsible for killing those irrelevant people, such as the third brother and others. And you, you are precious. The princess and the marquis specifically asked us to take you back to the capital..."
He Sheng gloated in agreement: "That's right, we have no say in these matters. You know, although we didn't have our entire family confiscated by you this time, we still suffered a great loss. Of course, our princess wants to regain some face, don't you think?" (To be continued)
